12. Subjects who have regularly used anti-androgenic therapies (i.e. spironolactone, flutamide, cyproterone acetate, progesterone and/or bicalutamide) or undergone any other hair or scalp treatments within the last 3 months.
13. Subjects suffering from other hair loss disorders, such as alopecia areata, scarring alopecia, androgenetic alopecia and telogen effluvium as determined during initial study assessment and physical scalp exam by the Investigator.
14. Subjects with self-reported uncontrolled diseases (i.e. diabetes, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, etc.). Whether medical conditions are under control with or without treatment will be assessed on an individual basis by the Investigator based on her medical and clinical expertise.
15. Subjects with self-reported active hepatitis, immune deficiency, HIV or autoimmune disease.
16. Subjects having a known active dermatologic condition of the scalp that may place the subject at a greater risk or interfere with clinical evaluations (ie. seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, advanced skin cancer, etc.) as determined by the Investigator based on her medical and clinical expertise.
